That’s what happen when identity politics mark a group as less important and the enemy.

It happens when right wing do identity politics an the marginalized minorities group together against it.

Left wing for some reason decided to use exactly the same strategy as the right wing and took identity politics as a way to do politics and they are having exactly the same result. The “marginalized” identity turned against them.

Surprised Pikachu face.

If different groups of people want different things for society, in most cases only one of those groups can get what they want.

It’s good to push for what you want. But living means accepting that things cannot always go your way, and that sometimes things are going to go in the way of other people.

Is up to each one how much they want to pressure, invest and fight for making things their way. And when to give up and accept that something is going to go other way and find ways to cope.

I write this because what I’m lately seeing is people destroying their own mental health over some recent events. And that’s not a healthy way to face the world I think. People have limited energies, and pushing everyone to fight all the time is devastating for some.

Maybe reflect if you are causing despair in others or if you are feeling dread by current state of the world. Reflect how much of what you are feeling are forced and how much is in your own control. And for all that’s in your own control try to be happy.

At least that’s my humble advice.

Not at all. I have my instance sitting on 100MG of RAM and 0% cpu usage. There’s only 3 users that barely use it, but there it is.

It scales by number of users.

It’s true that it’s a resource hog, due to being written in python (who the hell though that), but it all depends on usage.

I’ve never felt fully represented.

I selfhost a matrix instance just for myself and my bots. And send myself notifications to the phone client element. I can even trigger a fake VoIP phone call for really important stuff.

Notifications come through as any other message app notification. And calls do the same.

In order to get all notifications and not destroy your phone battery I found out that you need to download the google play version as you need google services for notifications.

I doubt is satire as the project was truly linked with trans groups.

Probably they just count as experience things that are probably not truly experience or maybe there’s a lot that’s being untold there.

Just last week I was setting up a matrix server.

I considered conduwuit but I had a feeling this might happen. Happy to stick with Synapse. It’s just a shane that it’s written in freaking python.

I’ve been thinking for years. Maybe there’s a way to do a collaborative crawler and indexer. In a similar way on how collaborative science is done. And probably using p2p protocols.

Get a bunch of people together to create the perfect search engine in these dire times.

I don’t know fully what’s they are doing. But here’s my workflow with watchtower.

I have a cron task that runs watchtower every day on monitor-mode and only-once one time a day. That creates a list on what containers can be uograded. They using shourrr (it’s already integrated with watchtower it’s just an environment variable to do this) I send myself a message to my phone informing me of what updates are available. If I see fit to upgrade everything I just run watchtower once without monitor mode to upgrade all. I have pendant to automate this last part in a way that I just answer to the bot that’s informing me of the updates and should apply the command without having me ssh into the server. But as for now I have to ssh and run a script I have at hand to launch the upgrade with watchtower.

There are some problematic containers that I don’t want to upgrade this way. For those I have their compose files version locked and I upgrade them manually when I want.

This. Except for a few projects that have given me headaches for an automatic update before (I’m looking at you Jellyfin). Those I have them locked to a version and only upgrade when I think it’s truly stable (spoiler: stable release was not stable) and when I know I will have time to fix things that may broke.

You are doing way better than I was doing at 22.

I was studying a career that I didn’t like and ended up working as something completely different. I didn’t have a stable job until I was almost in my 30s. You are doing great.

As said by many, there’s a hidden structure that supports everyone here. So every athlete is only supporting themselves.

If you want to see people supporting each other in a tower structure search for Catalonian Castells.

I haver a scar (more like a small disfformity) I regret because I sometimes feel that if I would have gone to the doctor in time (or at all) I would have not have it now. Also I got injured by doing just a stupid thing so it’s sad have a constant reminder of that. But whatever, you end up learning to live with it.

I was a waiter in and out for a year. It’s tiring and you can end up exhausted.

But the needed skills were very simple.

Maybe it depends on the type of waiter? I served on the bar and only drinks, which was fairly easy. And of course I didn’t own the place or anything. We also didn’t serve any special cocktails or weird drinks. I didn’t think that a special skill was needed to do what I did.

I think most of those jobs are actually considered skilled jobs. Are they not?

When I think unskilled job I think picking fruit on the fields, cashier, delivering packages (though you need the driving skill so I don’t know) job that does actually not take much skill, and could probably be 100% learned how to do right in a week.

Nothing bad with an unskilled job anyway. If it needs to be done it needs to be done. Not because doing it takes no special skill means that it is less important.

What I think about marriage is that is not that true or logical. As it is supposed to be a “forever” thing. But it’s obviously not, and it’s not logical that it is.

And making the whole ceremony about how two people are going to stay together forever feels weird knowing the statistics.

At least to me.

Anyone, you are not alone. Plenty of people feel no need to make that ceremony and just enjoy life with their SO for as long as it last, or even forever.

But no heat to those who want to marry. This is just my weird personal opinion.

The weaker part of a conflict is not always in the right just because it’s weaker than the other part and got beaten up.

Finding nice places to just be. In the city, in nature, where ever but magical places.

The art is already there, but I just find it and let myself be surrounded by it for a while.

It’s impossible to truly prove it. Especially if it was a mixed media process. For instance generating AI image and then painting over that.

And if anyone would want to they could hand paint a picture that would look like AI made.

So, no way to do it with 100% accuracy.

For guys, saying “hi”.

For girls, I have to go hunting a Dragon with the sword of King Arthur to be considered worth of a cup of coffee.
